I'm loving Rails 3 Beta 1, but I'm surprised they've broken Ruby 1.9.1 compatibility with today's release. Not to be a hater, but I don't see the point of releasing a new beta after introducing a regression so serious that it causes the framework to segfault on the current stable Ruby.
- sailormoon 17y agoIt shouldn't even be possible to segfault an interpreted language like Ruby, let alone the "current stable" version. Sounds like it's Ruby-core's problem, not Rails-core's. That said, I agree with you, it's strange. But I do think it's good they're pushing so hard for 1.9.2.

- FooBarWidget 17y agoI don't think it's a bad thing. Ruby 1.9.1 needs to go. There are a number of bugs and quirks in 1.9.1 which have been fixed in 1.9.2. E.g. while developing Phusion Passenger I've noticed some VM deadlock bugs, all of which are now fixed.

- sailormoon 17y agoWell, that's less than 3 months away. Not so bad. 1.9.2 release plan, for those who missed it: - 31 Mar. freeze the spec - 30 Apr. freeze the code - 31 May. release 1.9.2-preview2 - 30 Jun. release 1.9.2-rc - 31 Jul. release 1.9.2-p0
